How to cut a sleeve is one of the subtle qucations which haunts the couturier or the dressmaker. The couturier, perhaps, being as skilful as he is with the subtle construction of sleeves does not worry so much, but the dressmaker is really con cerned. The coat-sleeve, if it be for a suit or a formal coat, is cut in two pieces-a wide upper one and a narrow

·lower one. Care must be taken to taper the sleeve to the wrist as much as is compatable with slipping it over the hand, while the rest of the sleeve must be as Darrow as is smoothly compatable with the size of the arm. For the dress- sleave the effect of clinging to the arm may be achieved with the one scam sleeve, provided it is cut sufficiently on the bias of the goods to cling closely to the arm, or as an alternative, that it has a dart taken at the outside of the arm to render it eminently close fitting. The dress sleeves often descend on to the band in mitten effect, and this pretty line tends to give an effect of height and to accentuate the slenderness of the hand itself, for even in this day of useful, women it is really handsome to have small hands...

LATEST SKIRT, MODES.

The best of the conturiers are work ing to avoid the effect of tightness and constriction in skirts, while keeping the straight-line effect. This is achieved in different ways. One of Lanvin's most brilliant solutions in afternoon-gorna is the use of a tunic which is slit, or round- led out, at the sides to show an under- skirt. This underskirt may be enlarged by fullness in the form of pleats or gathers, which are placed front and back under the panel. Thus, the tunic shows an underskirt with atraight, plain sides, and by the very fact of being split, or. rut, it narrows the effect of the figure. In the smart, straight-line tailored suit and dress Chanel has offered the most brilliant solution in the form of a plain skirt which several deep, flat pleats

at the left side. Thus the straight Ene ia perserved, and even accentuated, by the pleats, which tend to break the sil- houette with three or four vertical lines. The rest of the skirt is plain. The figure in repose shows perfectly straight silhouette. The figure in motion can in- dulge in a sportsmanlike stride without seeming to be clothed in a superfluity of material. Fionnet is one of the greatest designers. She has proved it by her masterly dealing with the question of the straight line and fullness this seaso12. In her suits she uses the cutting familiar in the classical" tailored costume. That is to say, she makes a skirt of several gores which widens toward the bem, but so subtly and logically that the widening is not noticable when the figure is in motion. In her afternoon gown's she makes the garment straight with the exception of a panel, often placed at the front. This panel of soft material and introduces circular cutting. The result is a clinging gown, which gives all the fullness necessary for walking or even for the tango, without the restraining pull exercised by a sheath dress.

Hand-embroidery is one of the chief. poiate of the present season's styles. The intricate machine chainstitch has been with us for a number of seasons, but the simpler stitches of the hand em broidery have made a profoundly deep impression by their very simplicity Paton, that great designer of modern clothes for the modern woman has prac tically excluded machine work from his large collection. In its stead, he em ploys hand-embroidery, sometimes in the simple darning stitch, sometimes in croas stitch, sometimes in the patient satin stitch which goes to embroider the bean- tifal Spanish shawls which are so smart in Paris today. Poiret employs Morro sin.hand-embroidery, Premet's collection shows infinitely painstaking hard work, and many other collections have put a wealth of hand-work and beautiful design into the composition" of mang of their creations

makes some of his skirta extremely abort. Some of the suits, composed of a three-quarter-length coat are and gown so short that they stop just below the knees and - the fur border of the coat rest against the fur border of the gown. These styles are very hand- some and smart to the woman of moder- ate height, but both the short women and the

tall woman, not to mention the

·Woman: of rather full figure, must resort to the models that are a little less OK- treme in the matter of skirt length. Poiret and Lanvin and Vionnet all vote for the longer skirt Their models "are beautiful, and after seeing them one wonders whether the modern women, even considering the exigencies of sports, is not better dressed in a skirt which strikes the happy.medium of the ankles, being long on the ankles for afternoon and evening wears and shorter för street
